Abstract
Water stability is a critical challenge in the design and application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). This chapter explores the theoretical modeling techniques used to predict and enhance the water stability of MOFs. Key aspects, including the fundamental mechanisms of water degradation, computational approaches, and practical strategies for designing robust MOFs, are discussed. By combining Monte Carlo simulations, machine learning, density functional theory, and molecular dynamics, researchers may logically create MOFs with improved water resistance. These methods are also demonstrated through case studies of effective MOF designs.
